Hi All,
I am currently trying to use the "su" command on 3.5 snapshot (quite
old snapshot indeed) without success.
I get the following message each time:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
sourire:alain {101} su -
Password:
Sorry
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I can connect as root user, and the given password is correct. The user
"alain" is is wheel group, has the "staff" login configuration and the
"/bin/csh" shell.
I have seen mention of the problem sowmewhere in a discussion list digest
but no solution.
Is this problem related to 3.5 snapshot ?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
best regards,
Alain
